Your computer needs to have a compatible Bluetooth receiver. Newer models sometimes have a receiver installed on the motherboard, if not you will have to buy a USB Bluetooth dongle. You can pick them up cheap online, or at a local computer store. The USB ones will sometimes come with a driver CD, so be sure to install that. For further information on connecting via a USB dongle you will have to refer to that products manual.

For one on the motherboard, you will generally find options for connecting Bluetooth in the network settings, although it varies across OS, motherboard, and Bluetooth model.

Your mouse should have a scroll wheel. Start your Bluetooth on your computer and push down on the scroll wheel. you will see the optical laser underneath start to flash quickly. This means it is trying to pair and your computer should see it and pair with it. hope this helps

1.Make sure your device is powered on.
2.If the LED is blinking, your device is in Discoverable Mode. If the LED is steady, your device is paired with another item. Unpair the device, turn it off, and start again.
3.In the menu bar of your Mac, choose the Bluetooth icon, then choose Open Bluetooth Preferences.
4.Your Mac scans for available Bluetooth devices.
5.When your device appears in the Bluetooth Preference Pane, click Pair.

I solved the problem by upgrading the Bluesoleil software I was supplied with (Bluetooth) to the most recent version (at the modest cost of 19 Euros). After I did that, the proper menus came up to search for the mouse device and a connection was established! Of course, the user manual was no help.

Locate the Bluetooth icon in the lower-right corner of the computer screen, and compare the status to Table 1.
(The Bluetooth icon may be hidden, click the Show hidden icons arrow to show any hidden icons.)

Bluetooth Icon
Status
Enabled - The Bluetooth adapter is ready to pair with another Bluetooth device.
Connected - The Bluetooth adapter is already connected to a Bluetooth device (if the desired device is not the one its connected to, it will have to be re-paired).
Disabled - The wireless switch is off. For information on how to turn the wireless switch on refer to theOnline User's Guide.
None
When no icon shows the Bluetooth driver needs to be installed, refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article:"How to Download and Install the Latest Dell Wireless Bluetooth Driver"
Table 1: Bluetooth status

Verify the following conditions have been met:

Batteries are Installed in the Mouse and Keyboard.

The Bluetooth adapter, USB Bluetooth adapter or 13/19-in-1 Media Card Reader is installed in or attached to the computer.

The Bluetooth device you are going to pair is within 30 ft. (10 meters) of the computer.

Right-click the Bluetooth icon in the system tray.

Click Add a Bluetooth Device.

Turn on the Bluetooth mouse and press the Bluetooth connect button on the bottom of the mouse. The Bluetooth LED on top of the mouse should start blinking. If the LED does not blink, press the Bluetooth connection button again and hold it down for 2-3 seconds until the Bluetooth LED starts blinking.

Click Next to start searching.

Click the icon for the mouse to highlight it and then click Next.

The connection is set up automatically. Once the connection to the mouse has been created, the wizard closes and returns to the Bluetooth Settings window. The new connection is now listed there. The link symbol under the mouse indicates it is connected.

SetPoint will now launch and ask to check for updates, click OK. If an update is available click to download it.

After the update has been applied, click OK.

Turn on the Bluetooth keyboard and press the Bluetooth connect button on the bottom of the keyboard. The Bluetooth LED on top of the keyboard should start blinking. If the LED does not blink, press the Bluetooth connection button again and hold it down for 2-3 seconds until the Bluetooth LED starts blinking.

Click the box next to My device is set up and ready to be found and then click Next to start searching.

Click the icon for the keyboard you want to connect to in order to highlight it and then click Next.

When the keyboard is connected, the Confirm Keyboard Connection screen appears. A passkey that has been generated for the keyboard is shown. Type in the passkey as it is shown on the screen.
Note:
The keyboard can only store one passkey. The passkey is unique to each computer. If you try to connect the keyboard to more than one computer, the passkey is changed each time you create a connection.

The connection is set up automatically. Once the connection to the keyboard has been created, the wizard closes and returns to the Bluetooth Settings window. The new connection is now listed there. The link symbol under the keyboard indicates it is connected. You are now be able to use the devices.

i think you may be getting wireless confused with bluetooth.
Your mouse is wireless and it needs the wireless sender unit connected to a usb port, but this is not bluetooth, it picks up the wireless signal from the sender to work.
You will also need to install any software that you got with the mouse (if any), as you will need to set up the button and click functions, unless it just uses the normal pointing device driver in windows.
